Bachelor of Science - Mathematics - Applied

In general, the Mathematics Department seeks to expose all students to the joy of doing mathematics and to broaden their view of the numerous uses and societal importance of mathematics.

The Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics provides preparation in the classical applied subjects such as differential equations and math modeling. It is the perfect choice for students interested in the mathematics behind fields such as engineering, physics, chemistry, meteorology, and a host of other sciences. A Bachelor of Science in Applied Mathematics is excellent preparation for beginning a career in a wide range of industries including materials science, computer animation, and epidemiology; statistics, meteorology, and engineering; cryptography, logistics, and fraud investigation.

Southern Connecticut State University will offer independent study, special topics courses, internships, and thesis guidance as avenues for intellectual growth. Further engagement is provided through a vibrant community of math enthusiasts participating in one or more of the many group activities sponsored by the Mathematics Department. Students can join biweekly math club meetings or problem solving seminars. They will compete on a team in math modeling, individually in the Putnam Exam or regional competitions. Students can attend or even present at local and national math conferences.
